This may be one of the most amazing debuts the art world has ever seen.
A pregnant Brooklyn performance artist is planing to have her baby in an art gallery in front of an audience as part of a piece examining childbirth.
Called “The Birth of Baby X,” the performance will feature artist Marni Kotak turning Bushwick’s Microscope Gallery into her “birthing room” where she will spend each day until the baby comes.
“I hope that people will see that human life itself is the most profound work of art, and that therefore giving birth, the greatest expression of life, is the highest form of art,” she said.

I wonder if the National Endowment for the Arts is paying for this.

The ultimate in exhibitionism. Sick. Maybe they should call the show Rosemary’s Baby.

On the bright side, at least she’s having the baby.
To: Lmo56
does the gallery have a cabaret license? That use that ancient legal code to shut down a lot of things in NYC.

I would go, but I'd have to camp out there because the actual arrival date is uncertain, and I might have to rub elbows with those Occupying Wall Street people, and I don't want to associate with the likes of them.

something i’ve noticed from pro-abort democrats who sire bastard children and then funnel money from election and charity funds to pay off the baby mamas.

If she as really avant-garde, she'd have an abortion in front of everyone. /s

I gave birth to a baby meatloaf this morning, but I didn't have a crowd, and no one paid me.
BUT, I'm absolutely, positively convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I could have gotten a grant for my "morning artwork" from the National Endowment for the Arts. Silly me.

Excellent rejoinder to another dumb stunt pulled by some dumb “performance artist.”
When my husband ran his own theatre in NYC, he loved refusing to rent space to disgusting and untalented artists like this. May her water burst all over the idiots in the audience!
